Vote for Lara Vadlau as Austria's Newcomer of the Year

12
Oct 2013

With the winner set to be announced at the Austrian Lotteries Gala Night of Sport, Lara has enjoyed a phenomenal year since partnering up with crew Jola Ogar after the 2012 Olympics.

The pair have grown massively and developed as a team, finishing on the podium at both the 2013 470 European Championships and 2013 470 World Championships – in a staggering display of focus and commitment over the past 12 months.

Lara, the world ranked #1 helm, has notched up a string of top results this year finishing in the top 10 of each of the 9 ranked events contested, including 6 podium finishes. The Vadlau/Ogar partnership took over the World #1 spot in mid-August this year, an impressive rise from a #24 ranking only 12 months earlier.

Lara is up against two other candidates for the “Newcomer of the Year Award” – a cyclist Riccardo Zoidl and a tennis player Dominic Thiem.
